When do I use the wy60f terminal entry? 25 lines vs. 24?
SUMMARY: The purpose of this knowledgebase is to explain why we
introduced the wyse60f terminal entry in the protermcap file after
version 6 of Progress.
Knowledge Base number: 19003
This document applies to: Protermcap entry 'wy60f'
Version and Release Number: 7+
Date Created: July 29, 1999
INTRODUCTION:
The 'wyse60' terminal by default has 24 rows by 80 columns. You can
modify this value by using the SHIFT-SETUP function to change the
default settings. In order for Progress to successfully support the
these changes there are a number of terminal entries in the Progress
Protermcap file. One of these entries that was introduced in version
7 of Progress was the 'wy60f' entry. This entry accommodates for
25 rows by 80 columns.
STEP BY STEP DETAILS:
In Progress versions 7 and higher, when you attempt to use a 'wyse60'
terminal and take advantage of 25 lines/rows you should be setting
your TERM variable to 'wy60f'. This terminal type will allow you to
have 25 rows rather then the default of 24.
On a true 'wyse60' terminal it will allow you to set the display
options by doing a SHIFT-SETUP. Once selected you can then modify
the value for the number of lines per screen that are displayed. If
the user wants to use 25 rows within Progress along with the wyse60
terminal definitions they should select 'wy60f'.
If the user wants to keep the default of 24 lines per screen at the
Operating System level but would also like to have 25 lines/rows
within Progress they should select the 'wy60f' term type but
they will have to make the following protermcap file changes to the
'wy60f' entry:
If you want to return to 24 lines when exiting PROGRESS, remove the
:te=: line and remove the period from the :.te=...: line.
The original entry would look like:
wy60f|wyse60full: :ti=\Ee): :te=: :.te=\Ee(: :li#25: :tc=wy60:
The entry when modified to go back to 24 lines after exiting Progress
would look like:
wy60f|wyse60full: :ti=\Ee): :te=\Ee(: :li#25: :tc=wy60:
